Chapter 127: Help
"We have found an old man who knows more about this legend and will come later and should be able to help us find the exact location of the palace!"
Now that the other party has arranged it, Qin Lin won't say anything more, after all, he doesn't have any more news about the palace, and he will talk about it when the old man comes.
"That's okay, hurry up and rest, something calls me...."Seeing that there was nothing to do for the time being, Arnold left Qin Lin's room with his teammates.
"Everyone, have a good rest, I have prepared a lot of police forces to be on duty at the hotel, and there is no one else living here..." After all, these are people from the United States, and their country doesn't want to cause trouble, so they must be kept safe in the town.
After Qiyu closed the door, he leaned into Qin Lin's ear and said worriedly: "Master, are these agents reliable? Why do I think they don't have any effective advice at all? And that Arnold, I always feel that he is a little hostile to us..."
In fact, Arnold can't be blamed for this, the country of Egypt is too unfamiliar, and many things can't be sure at all, so it is the right choice to organize more equipment to ensure physical strength.
"It's okay, you have to listen to my command anyway...."Qin Lin comforted Qiyu, but just in case, he took advantage of the toilet time to contact Hugo and asked his hacker to send an email as requested....
Qin Lin had already slept enough on the plane, Qiyu was also very energetic, and after lingering for a while, the two of them went to the town together, maybe they could gain something.
But as soon as they reached the first floor of the hotel, they saw a police officer rushing up to Mubarak, muttering Arabic.
The two of them naturally don't know this language, and Hugo and Du Xuan have long expected this situation, so the two of them worked together to make a chip headset with a translation function, although it is a mechanical sound, but it can definitely be understood.
The core meaning of the officer's words was: "Sheriff, a post office in town has been robbed and a lot of money has been lost!
"Let's go with you...."Qin Lin, who had nothing to do, gave up shopping, but still found it interesting to investigate the case.
"It's not good, you're foreign guests...," Mubarak laughed.
Qiyu quickly explained the identity of his master's detective, saying that he could help them a lot.
Originally, he wanted to protect Qin Lin's safety, and it might be safer to have this belt around, so after Mubarak and Qin Lin agreed not to wander around, they agreed.
The town is really small, and it only takes ten minutes to arrive at the scene of the incident, where all the vehicles and vehicles passing by have been stopped and are being checked.
To everyone's surprise, there were no serious casualties at the post office, the office was barely messed up, and the staff calmed down.
"Mr. Detective, this is a small town, and there are only one or two thousand people, so the residents here keep their money in the post office..... "Mubarak explained.
Several people came to the post office lobby and turned on the surveillance video to check the situation.
The footage shows that just as the five staff members were about to leave work, a tightly dressed, small man wearing a motorcycle helmet and backpack walked in, pulled out a pistol and began to threaten the staff to open the vault.
One of the male staff members tried to sneak up on the robber behind him, but was shot by the robber and knocked to the ground! Interestingly, there was no bullet coming out of the muzzle, but something like a spring.
"It's an electric gun!" Qi Yu, who is a firearms expert, immediately concluded that the crime was a tool, "But this current is not strong, so it will make people unconscious for a while, and it won't cause any big damage!"
"But this thing is very crudely made, you see...."Qiyu asked the police officer to rewind the video for a few seconds, and everyone looked closely, and found that there was a black rubber wire attached to the handle of the gun that came out of the backpack.
"The robber's backpack should be a homemade power generation device, right? But it shouldn't be big..."Qin Lin judged the truth.
After that, the robber's actions can be said to be very neat and clean, and he also knows the small post office well, he pointed out the direction of the vault, and kept urging the staff to cooperate, and the whole robbery process took more than ten minutes. The video shows that the money that was robbed was not very much, and it was only half a backpack! Qin Lin guessed that this was probably to facilitate the escape, and he didn't want to increase the burden.
After getting the money, he immediately ran to the back door, locked the door, and left.
After making sure that there were no clues of interest in the post office, several people later came to the back door where the robbers had fled. It's a sandy area surrounded by wooden planks that the staff park.
They soon found an abandoned backpack containing a pair of electric gun equipment and a pair of gloves.
"The bag is still here, how did he take the money?Is the back box on the motorcycle?" Qiyu was a little curious.
"It's impossible, if you are stopped for inspection, it will be a failure!" Qin Lin felt that the robbers were not so stupid.
Mubarak's face was very bad, and he gave an order to his subordinates behind him: "Go! Conduct a house-to-house investigation! Especially if there is a family with a motorcycle, it must be carefully investigated!"
The fact that the prisoner actually did it when a foreign friend came made Mubarak lose face and was likely to be punished by his superiors! As a result, his plan to transfer to a big city would probably come to naught! The whole person became more and more anxious.
"Since the incident, colleagues have cordoned off the area! Every vehicle is being investigated!" the officer reported.
Mubarak nodded, urging them to do their work.
After walking around the open space, Qin Lin finally found a tire print similar to a motorcycle, combined with the content in the video, he came to his own conjecture, he turned to look at Mubarak: "Sheriff, let your men wait, the scope of the investigation can be narrowed down a lot!"
"What, sir, do you know who the prisoner is?" Mubarak looked at the creamy boy and felt that the other party was just adding to the chaos.
After lighting the cigar, Qin Lin smiled: "Hehe.... I don't know exactly who it is, but I already know the characteristics of the prisoner, and if you do what I say, you can find him soon..."
Before Mubarak could ask first, Qin Lin began his reasoning: "First of all, this robber is familiar with the terrain, and most of them are locals, so he parked his vehicles in this open space, so that he could easily escape after robbing the money.
Second, how can I say that there are five people at the post office just now, and it is not impossible to catch him together if they work together! Since the robbers are familiar with the situation at the post office, why did they only bring a homemade electric gun? What if something breaks down at a critical moment? This preparation is too risky, isn't it? It's too sorry for the money-grabbing industry, right?
"What do you want to say, sir?" Mubarak heard.
"I mean, this robber doesn't have the ability and channels to prepare a real pistol!" Qin Lin spat out his cigarette.
"What if the robbers just don't want to alarm the people around them because of the gunshots?"
"No, it's because the town is so small, and he knows that no matter what he does, he will quickly get the attention of the police! So, for him, the real difficulty in this matter is how to escape your scrutiny and suspicion..."
Qin Lin is getting better.
